LED number plate lights

[Mattyj]

Love them or hate them, does anyone have a set they would recommend? I got a set off ebay £14.99 didn't get the cheapest came with a ballast type resistor i think they don't fit to start and when i tried to connect the plugs the male spades pushed straight out the bk :-( they have an imitation vw plug on them which is a nice idea but the pins in it are straight and the vw ones are sort of staggered pretty poor tbh

I have r dash ones mate! would highly recommend them, give off a nice bright white light with a tinge of blue (which I'm into, not too boy racer-ish!) no error codes as yet, clocked up 12 months with them!

Bit bright for me think the law states no white should be seen from the rear of the vehicle cheers tho :-)

You could buy the oem ones fitted to later cars and fit reaistors too them to stop the errors

As my car now has rear LED's with the errors coded out, will OEM LED number plate lights just plug and play?

Sadly not. Even turning the check off on vagcom for the numberplate lights still causes an error eventually. Only fitting the later control unit with the later software for the led numberplate lights fixes it. Or of cause fitting resistors to fool it. The sad thing is the oem one work on the mk5s without causing an error!...

I bought some LEDs before and the resistor burnt out on one of them. I was going to leave it with the bulbs in but it just looked poor with the yellow/orange colour so now I've got the OEM LEDs - bought from VW for around £40 then bought the resistors from car systems.pl for around £10

Nice LED light but not too bright. Suits the rear LED light clusters too.

I just bought some LED lamp replacements rather that the whole unit, they came with resisitors so no errors and they look ace! I think I paid about £10 for them off ebay

[Mattyj]

Oh rite cool i thought they were a sealed unit??

he didn't replace the number plate lights, just put a LED bulb into the standard bulb holder.
